Beau Tackett: Blake Shelton Lead Guitar Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

Beau's journey from rural Kentucky was filled with bumps and bruises along the way. He was kind enough to share some of them with me on this call, along with the focus and attitude he had which allowed him to keep his chin up, and always looking forward. Looking at the glass half-full instead of half-empty. The two biggest mistakes Beau made when he was younger, and the advice he'd give to himself if he could turn the clock back, why "I'll see you when you get there," is so important, and much more...
